Gloom - Noun (Computer Gaming)
Gloom is a teambased, non-CTF modification to the Quake2 game engine. It pits Aliens vs. Humans in the all too familiar battle for racial superiority. Only a few servers still exist but the community is tightly knit and the people who still play it are mostly seasoned veterans with high levels of skill.
The objective is to destroy the opposite team's "spawns", rendering them unable to continue the game. Some Gloom maps have different objectives to
spice things up, such as preventing the other team from escaping on a
shuttle or
escape pod.
Quite a fun game. If you're interested, do a google search for Gloom
Q2, since UD.com doesn't allow links.
"I pwn you at
gloom Inu.. lolz" (Player Grim, talking about how he beat me at the game.)
"
Gloom is so stale, you all sux!" (Idiot Counterstrike player
badmouthing the Gloom players who have infinitely more skill and taste in gaming.)
